Interview Process

1

Recommendation

A prospective member must be nominated in a category that is currently not filled. Once nominated, the prospective member is invited to meet with a BCA Liaison. The initial Membership Briefing is designed for the prospective member to begin learning about BCA, its culture and the interview process.

Application

Following the Membership Briefing, the prospective member is permitted to Apply for Interview. All applications are presented to the board for review. Approval to interview will be granted or denied at that time. Applications are non-binding and merely indicate interest to learn more about Membership.

Interview

The Board will then begin its interview process, ensuring that the membership candidate meets all the classification, character and company requirements for membership. A minimum of two Board Members will be appointed on all applications. The Recommending Member or other non-board member may also be asked to participate in the interview process.

Your BCA Liaison will guide you through the entire process, assisting and advising when needed. During this time, we encourage you to learn as much as you can about our organization and culture, meet and talk with current members, and carry out your due diligence. Likewise, the Board will also be carrying out its due diligence on your application.

At the conclusion of the interview process, the prospective member can knowledgeably decide if they’d like to be presented to the Board for official Membership Selection.
